THE J. ROSS ROBERTSON SILVER CHALLENGE TROPHY. 
is a solid silver Challenge Trophy presented by Mr. J. Ross Robert- 
son, on Saturday, the 3rd December, 1898, to the Ontario Hockey 
Association, for competition amongst the Hockey Teams of the 
Province of Ontario. The cup, which is of tazza form, was made 
by Her Majesty's jewellers and silversmiths, London, England, out 
of the purest Canadian silver. It is lined with Canadian gold, 
and richly decorated with a brass relief of lions, masks, fells, 
etc., which stand out from the piece in high relief. The most 
striking feature of this original cup is the three leopard handles, 
which are beautifully modelled and chased. Its weight is 130 
ounces. It is thirteen inches in diameter and ten in height, and 
stands on a handsome ebonized plinth, six inches in height, with 
six silver Hogarth shaped shields for inscribing the winner's names.

reinstatement to the Association to be considered at the annual 
convention, notice must be given in the regular way. 

8. The Executive may at the instance of any club, or, if it 
considers that suspicious circumstances exist on its own initiative

Rules of the Game 



1. The game is played on ice by teams of seven on each side, 
with a puck made of vulcanized rubber, one inch thick all through 
and three inches in diameter. 

STICKS. 

2. Hockey sticks shall not be more than three inches wide at 
any part, and not more than thirteen inches long at the blade. 
They shall consist entirely of wood, with tape binding per- 
missible. 

GOAL. 

3. A goal is placed in the middle of each goal line, composed 
of official goal nets supported by two upright posts, four feet in 
height, placed six feet apart, and at least five feet from the end 
of the ice. The goal posts shall be firmly fixed. In the event of 
a goal post or net being displaced or broken, the referee shall 
blow his whistle, and the game shall not proceed until the post 
or net is replaced. It shall be the duty of the referee before each 
match to measure the goals. 

MATCH. 

4. Each side shall have a captain (a member of his team), who, 
before the match, shall toss for choice of goals. 

5. Each side shall play an equal time from each end, a ten 
minutes' rest being allowed at half time. The duration of cham- 
pionship matches shall be one hour, exclusive of stoppages. The 
team scoring the greater number of goals in that time shall be de- 
clared the winner of the match, subject to the qualifications con- 
tained in Rules of Competition, No. 15. If at the end of that 
time the game is a draw, ends shall be changed and the match 
continued for ten minutes, each side playing five minutes from 
each end with a rest of five minutes between such five minute 
ends, and if neither side has then scored a majority of goals, 
similar periods of ten minutes shall be played in the same way 
until one side shall have scored a majority of goals. 



32 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY, 

TIME-KEEPERS. 

6. Two time-keepers shall be appointed, one by each captain, 
before the commencement of the match, whose duty it shall be 
to keep an accurate account of the time of each game, deducting 
time for stoppages in the actual play. They shall immediately 
report to the referee any variance in their time, and the matter 
shall be at once decided by him. The referee also shall appoint 
a time-keeper, who shall keep the time of penalized players, and 
shall direct them to enter the game. The time-keepers shall be 
undej- the control of the referee. A gong shall be kept for their 
use. 

REFEREE. 

7. There shall be only one referee for a match, and in no case 
shall he belong to either of the competing clubs, and he may be 
an amateur or a professional. He is to enforce the rules; ad- 
judicate upon disputes or cases unprovided for by rule; appoint 
or remove goal umpires ; control the time-keepers ; keep the 
score, announcing each goal as scored ; and at the conclusion of 
the match declare the result. The puck shall be considered in 
play until the referee stops the game, which he may do at any 
time, and which he must do at once when any irregularity of 
play occurs, by sounding a whistle. His decision shall be final. 

SCORE. 

8. A goal shall be scored when the puck shall have passed be- 
tween the goal posts from in front and below the tops of the 
posts. 

GOAL UMPIRES. 

9. There shall be one umpire at each goal ; they shall inform 
the referee when the puck has been put into the goal from the 
front. 

FACE. 

10. The game shall be started and renewed by the referee 
blowing his whistle or calling "Play" after dropping the puck in 
the centre of the ice between the sticks of two players, one from 



SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 33 

each team, who are to face it. After a goal has been scored the 
puck shall be faced in like manner in the centre of the ice. 

OFF-SIDE. 

11. A player shall always be on his side of the puck. A player 
is off-side when he is in front of the puck, or when the puck 
has been hit, touched or is being run with, by any of his own 
side behind him (i. e., between himself and the end of the rink 
near which his goal is placed). 

A player being off-side is put on-side when the puck has been 
hit by, or has touched the dress or person of any player of the 
opposite side, or when one of his own side has run in front of 
him, either with the puck or having played it when behind him. 

If a player when off-side plays the puck, or annoys or obstructs 
an opponent, the puck shall be faced where it was last played 
before the off-side play occurred. A player on the defending side 
shall not be off-side when he takes a pass from or plays the 
puck as it bounds off his goal-keeper within a space of three 
feet out from goal and extending to the side of the rink. 

KNOCKING-ON. 

12. The puck may be stopped with the hand but not carried or 
held or knocked on by any part of the body. 

CHARGING, TRIPPING, ETC. 

13. No player shall raise his stick above his shoulder. Charging 
from behind, tripping,, collaring, kicking, cross-checking, or push- 
ing shall not be allowed. And the referee must rule off the ice, 
for any time in his discretion, a player who, in the opinion of 
the referee, has deliberately offended against the above rule. If 
a player makes any unfair or rough play, or disputes any de- 
cision of the referee or uses any foul or abusive language, the 
referee may rule him off for the remainder of the game or for 
such time as he may deem expedient, and no substitute shall be 
allowed. 



34 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC LIBRARY. 

WHEN THE PUCK LEAVES THE ICE. 

14. When the puck goes off the ice behind the goal Hne it shall 
be brought out by the referee to a point five yards in front of 
the goal line, on a line at right angles thereto, from the point 
at which it left the ice, and there faced. 

When the puck goes off the ice at the side, it shall be simi- 
larly faced three yards from the side. 

GOAL-KEEPER. 

15. The goal-keeper must not during play, lie, sit or kneel upon 
the ice; he may stop the puck with his hands, but shall not 
throw or hold it. He may wear pads, but must not wear a 
garment such as would give him undue assistance in keeping goal. 
The referee must rule off the ice, for any time in his discretion, 
a player, who, in the opinion of the referee, has offended against 
this rule. 

CHANGE OF PLAYERS. 

16. No change of players shall be made after a match has 
commenced. Should any player be injured during a match, break 
his skate, or from any other accident be compelled to leave the 
ice, the opposite side shall immediately drop a man to equalize 
the teams and the match proceed, without such players until 
such time as the player so compelled to leave the ice is ready to 
return. In event of any dispute, the matter shall at once be 
decided by the referee. 

STOPPAGES. 

17. Should any match be stopped by the referee by reason of 
any infringement of any of the rules or because of an accident 
or change of players, the puck shall be faced again at the spot 
where it was last played before such infringement, accident or 
change of players shall have occurred.

CHAMPIONSHIP HOCKEY STICKS 

Made of the finest selected Canadian rock elm, and 
exclusively used and endorsed by the Ottawa team, 
of Ottawa, champions of the world and holders of 
the Stanley Cup ; by the Victoria team, of Winnipeg, 
and the Shamrock team, of Montreal, former cham- 
pions, in addition to the famous Rat Portage team, 
and many other well-known teams. These sticks 
will not fray at the bottom where they come in 
contact with the ice and will retain their shape under 
all conditions. The very important matter of weight 
and balance has been carefully considered, and the 
Spalding Sticks are much lighter, yet stronger than 
any others on the market.

SPALDING HOCKEY STICKS 

These sticks are made of the finest selected 
Canadian rock ehii, only the most perfect being 
selected at our factory to be finished, stained 
and polished. No detail of manufacture has 
been neglected in making them up, and we 
recommend them without reserve as the most 
perfect sticks on the market. 

No. 2-0. Spalding Shamrock Stick, fur- 
nished in either Regular Forward, Long 
Blade Forward, Goal and Defence or Knife 
Blade models Each, 75c. 

Adopted in order to provide goal keepers and 
defence players with a stick that is up to the 
full limit of size allowed under the rules. This 
is done by adding to the regular defence stick 
a strip of elm, attached firmly and in such a 
way as to make the stock 50 per cent, more 
effective to a goal keeper or defence player 
than the ordinary style. Body of stick is made 
of the finest selected Canadian rock elm.

This book is the most complete work of its kind yet attempted. The 
compiler is Geo. W. Or ton, of the University of Pennsylvania, a 
famous athlete himself and who is well qualified to give instructions 
to the beginner. Each event in the intercollegiate programme is 
treated of separately, both in regards to method of training and form. 
By following the directions given, the young athlete will be sure to 
benefit himself without the danger of overworking, as many have done 
through ignorance, rendering themselves unfitted for their task when 
the day of competition arrived. Illustrated with numerous full page 
pictures of leading athletes in action.

The Spalding Tubular Steel 
Racing Skate 

rOR years past racing men have been looking for a skato 
* that could be depended upon absolutely. Ordinary- 
solder is not always sufficient to stand the strain at certain 
points when a man is turning a corner at full speed, and 
this is one reason why the Spalding Tubular Steel Skate^ 
with every joint brazed like a bicycle frame— not soldered, 
jumped into such great popularity immediately upon its 
introduction late last season. We claim that this skate 
embraces more good points necessary to a first>class rac- 
ing skate than any other style on the market to-day. We 
have the opinions and practical experience of some of the 
most prominent racing men in this country to go by, 
notably Mr. Sam See, who passed on most of the details of" 
construction, and every 
pair is backed up with 
a positive guarantee of 
quality. If it gives way 
through any fault of 
its construction, w e 
will gladly replace with 
a new pair or refund 
the money. 



Some Good Points 

about the Spalding 

Tubular Steel Racing 

Skate 

Absolutely guaranteed; 
very light weight, all 
tubular steel construc- 
tion; every jointbrazed, 
not soldered, making it 
the strongest racing 
skate manufactured; 
blades very thin, made 
of 1-16 in. Norway tool 
steel, hardened; toe 
and heel plates made 
of the best partly hard- 
ened steel, left full size 
so that they can be cut 
to fit any size shoe. In 
three lengths of blade, 
14, 15 and 16 inches. 

Pair, $6.00

No. 223-How to Bat 

The most important part of ball playing 
nowadays, outside of pitching, is batting. 
The team that can bat and has some good 
pitchers can win base ball games ; there- 
fore, every boy and young man who has, of 
course, already learned to catch, should 
turn his attention to this department of the 
game, and there is no better way of becoming proficient than by reading 
this book and then constantly practising the little tricks explained therein. 
It is full of good advice to batsmen, and many good batters will be sur- 
prised to find contained in it so many points of which they were unaware.

No. 232-How to Run the Bases 

The importance of base running as a 
scientific feature of the national game is 
becoming more and more recognized each 
year. Besides being spectacular, feats of 
base stealing nearly always figure in the 
winning of a game. Many a close contest 
is decided on the winning of that little strip 
of 90 feet which lies between cushions. 
When hits are few and the enemy's pitchers 
steady, it becomes incumbent on the opposing team to get around the 
bases in some manner. Effective stealing not only increases the effective- 
ness of the team by advancing its runners without wasting hits, but it 
serves to materially disconcert the enemy and frequently has caused an 
entire opposing club to temporarily lose its poise and throw away the game. 
This 1> lok gives clear and concise directions for excelling as a base runner; 
tells when to run and when not to do so ; how and when to slide ; team 
work on the bases ; in fact, every point of the game is thoroughly ex- 
plain i,l. In addition such clever men as Harry Bay, the fleet footed 
Clevelander; Frank Chance, Bill Dahlen and Hans Wagner describe their 
methods of action. Illustrated with pictures of leading players. Price 
10 cents.
